EVGA Z270 FTW – K (132-KS-E277)
Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your Z270 FTW-K has (4) 288-pin slots
for DDR4 memory. These slots support
4GB, 8GB and 16GB DDR4 DIMMs.
There must be at least one memory slot
populated for the board to boot and
operate.
The Intel Z270 chipset supports dual-
channel DDR4 memory, a maximum of
64GB and up to 3600MHz+ (OC). You
must populate even-slots (2, 4) first. The
board will not boot if only odd-slots (1, 3)
are populated. See chart below:
Use the following
procedure to install
memory DIMMs.
Note that there is an
off-center gap near
the center of the
DIMM slots. This
matches the gap on
a DDR4 DIMM to ensure the memory is installed properly, and to prevent the
incorrect installation of memory.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the top-side module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module
perpendicular to the DIMM slot, pressing straight down to seat the
module. The plastic clips at top side of the DIMM slot automatically
lock the DIMM into the connector.
Note:
The memory controller on most Skylake and Kaby Lake-S CPUs runs at a
default frequency of 2133/2400MHz. Achieving memory speeds above
2400MHz+ may require manual setting of the memory timings, frequency and
voltages and/or overclocking of the CPU.
Refer to the memory manufacturer specifications for the recommended
memory timings. For overclocking support you can visit our forums:
